Korean Or Vietnamese Food

I live in Atlanta, and off Buford highway, there is an amazing smorgasboard of restaurants with delicious traditional Asian foods, but not a lot of English. They have picture menus for us monolinguals to point at, but I don't know where to start a conversation about gluten.

I'm going to print and take with me the language cards, but in addition to that, does anyone know which dishes tend to be safer, and which are more dangerous? I love spicy seafood and seaweed dishes, and don't mind aiming for rice and avoiding rice noodles.

I actually lived in Korea for a year and I can tell you that most all the Korean sauces contain gluten. They use red pepper paste and bean paste in almost everything, both of which contain gluten. Bipimbap is fabulous but just have it served w/o red pepper paste. The Korean BBQs are just plain old meat grilled, usually with kimchi (which is gluten-free) and garlic... so their grilled meats are good, just don't use their dipping sauces. I used to carry my own sauces with me!

If you want spicy, go for kimchi chigae... it's a spicy soup. YUM.

Most Vietnamese dishes are gluten free. Some have hoisin sauce, which in most cases ,has gluten. I go to the Asian superstore and buy the kind with no gluten so I can still enjoy a hot bowl of Pho. Most sauces in Vietnamese cooking have fish sauce, oil, some sesame oil, lime juice. Most will understand "soy sauce." Very few of the dishes have soy sauce. I think if you take the cards in Vietnamese you will be just fine.

      UPDATE I've been asked for an update by someone who sent a PM, but It's best to post health info publicly because this means fellow Mods can make sure I'm staying on the straight and narrow path with any advice I'm giving out! Alex...   Yes, my symptoms did slowly improve.  They started around October, from memory.  Approaching Christmas I remember the feeling as if there were feathers irritating my chest in my lower throat and in my lungs, and things like scented candles made things even worse.  I had a endoscopy and they found nothing wrong, I also had a chest X-Ray because of the cough which lasted more than six weeks and nothing showed. In the end I think the end it settled because I was doing the following: following a reflux/gastritis diet  (you can find lots of these diets on line, which focus on a low fat, low acidndiet, avoiding spices etc, avoiding alcohol and coffee etc) not eating three hours before I went to bed, which means going to bed with an empty stomach sleeping with a wedge pillow, which I still do, five years on... taking Gaviscon Advanced before bedtime, and after meals (not much, just a large teaspoon) using a blue Salbutamol inhaler, I think it was two puffs in the morning and two puffs at night. I felt a lot better after about three or four months.  I then only used the inhaler and Gaviscon when I had to, if I started to feel my chest was getting irritated again. I find keeping on top of reflux symptoms the way forward.  My gastroenterologist told me that the cough was to do with reflux/gasses in the gut coming up that can irritate the throat and airways and the fact I noticed improvement when using Gaviscon showed that that was what was causing it, because it provides a barrier that stops this happening. From the Gaviscon UK website: "It creates a protective barrier or raft over the Stomach contents (which is mostly acid, but also pepsin and bile)." https://www.gaviscon.co.uk/#:~:text=It creates a protective barrier,water and other neutral substances. This protective barrier stopped the contents of my stomach from coming up to irritate my throat, as I understand it, and allowed any irritation in my throat to settle. I do still take Gaviscon if I eat a late meal but not every day.  I hope this helps.  Do come back to me on this thread if I can help further. Cristiana

      Let us know what you find out, the reference ranges should appear on the original test results.

      Hepatotoxicity DOES happen with kratom. It happened to my husband. He turned yellow with jaundice and his urine became brown. This was only after taking it three times. I know because I was the one who gave it to him, unfortunately. People should realize that it can and does happen.

      No other tests. This was from about 10 years ago, I noticed it when checking through my all bloods to look for patterns.  I will go back to my doctor...

      Were there any other tests besides the EMA run for celiac disease? If not, you should request them. At minimum, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA" should be ordered. A more complete celiac panel would also include the DGP-IGA, DGP-IGG and TTG-IGG. And very importantly, you should not have been reducing gluten consumption in the weeks/months leading up to the testing blood draw.
